Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Mengyao had reached a preliminary agreement with the county's Investment Promotion Bureau. She would be investing eighty million in the county where Lin Chen and the others were located.
For a county with an ordinary economy in the central province, an eighty million investment was already a substantial sum.
If things went well, there might be further investment later.
"Lin Chen, I have to go back."
"And I also need to go abroad for a trip, which might take over a week," Xu Mengyao said to Lin Chen.
Someone else would naturally follow up on the investment here. As a big CEO, how could she spend too much energy on this?
"Mmm… be careful."
Xu Mengyao had been here for four days, which was long enough. There were so many things going on at the company; she received quite a few phone calls every day.
"I will. I'm taking at least three bodyguards with me. They're all very capable."
Lin Chen said, "Xixi is still taking her nap. Do you want to wait for her to wake up and say goodbye? If you leave now, she might cry for her mother later."
Xu Mengyao shook her head. "The nanny will take care of it. If you take care of her, it'll be strange if Xixi acts like that when I leave. I spend more time with her, but now she's more attached to you."
"Such an ungrateful little thing."
"The situation is urgent. I've already had someone apply for a Temporary Flight Route. I need to get to the airport as soon as possible and leave."
"If she gets upset, just coax her a little."
Lin Chen: "I'll let my parents know."
His parents were also taking a nap.
But they'd only gone in a short while ago, so they probably weren't asleep yet.
"Knock, knock."
Lin Chen knocked on his parents' door, and they quickly came out.
Xu Mengyao said, a little embarrassed, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, I actually wanted to stay a few more days, but there's too much going on at the company, and I need to be there to handle some things."
"I'll come visit you again in the future."
Lin Hai nodded: "The company's business is important."
"Mengyao, wait a moment."
Chen Mei returned to the room and brought out a gift box. "Mengyao, this is a small token of our appreciation."
Xu Mengyao accepted the gift box.
"Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Xu Mengyao didn't open the gift box.
Regardless of the gift's value, she would accept it. Lin Chen's importance to her was growing.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Chen, I need to hurry and leave. I'll be going now. You're welcome to visit Modu whenever you have time."
Xu Mengyao left quickly.
Chen Mei: "Son, Mengyao is a good girl. You can't do anything to hurt her in the future. Also, work hard to get the marriage settled as soon as possible."
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Mom, we can't rush this. Things between Mengyao and me will happen naturally."
"Others are urging you to hurry up and have grandchildren."
"Haven't you already got one?"
Chen Mei was stunned for a moment: "That's true. But you still need to hurry up. Xixi will remember things when she gets a little older, and she'll remember attending your wedding."
"She'll know that you had her before you were married."
Lin Chen: "Xixi is very smart. Generally, children remember things at three years old, but I estimate Xixi is already remembering things now. As long as we give her enough love, there shouldn't be any problems."
"We'll pay attention to that."
Lin Hai and Chen Mei nodded.
Xu Mengyao arrived at the parking lot, where Liang Ye was waiting for her.
"To the airport."
Xu Mengyao said after getting in the car.
"Alright, President Xu."
Liang Ye drove off. Xu Mengyao slowly opened the gift box, which contained ten stacks of brand-new hundred-yuan bills.
There was also one yuan.
"One in a Hundred Thousand, huh."
Xu Mengyao's cheeks flushed quite a bit.
Ten thousand wasn't much to her, but this was Lin Chen's parents' approval, and that meant something special.
Click!
Xu Mengyao took a picture. She sent the photo to her mother, Yang Qingyue.
It was the middle of the night in the US, so Yang Qingyue didn't respond.
"Strategist, what do I do about this?"
Xu Mengyao sent the photo to Shen Qing as well.
Shen Qing saw the message very quickly.
"Lin Chen's parents gave it to you? Mengyao, are you here to show off to me? I smell the sour stench of love."
Xu Mengyao saw the message and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Strategist, you should hurry up and find a boyfriend."
Shen Qing: "How can a strategist go to the battlefield? How are you getting along with Lin Chen's parents? Any mother-in-law conflicts?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Lin Chen and I are not married yet!"
Shen Qing pouted, and she quickly replied: "You've already eaten the bait, can you still escape, you fish?"
"You haven't answered my question."
Xu Mengyao: "What conflicts could we possibly have? Lin Chen's parents are lovely, and we get along great."
"Tsk tsk, looks like you're about to fall."
Xu Mengyao: "My parents will be back in a little over ten days. I plan to move in with Lin Chen then."
"What do you think?"
Shen Qing quickly replied: "Of course, I support it. You agreeing to live together means your feelings for Lin Chen are off the charts. Anyone else would have already been in bed."
Xu Mengyao's face showed a shy expression.
"Son, did Mengyao send you a message?"
Half an hour passed, and Chen Mei asked, "Nothing, what's up?"
Lin Chen asked.
Chen Mei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that there isn't."
Xu Mengyao should have opened the gift box and looked inside. She hadn't sent a message, which meant she had tacitly accepted the gift they had given as a first meeting present.
A One in a Hundred Thousand gift. This had a special meaning. By accepting such a gift, they knew very well what Xu Mengyao was thinking.
"Son, come here."
Lin Hai called Lin Chen to the balcony.
"Dad, what's up?"
Lin Hai said, "Mengyao's parents will be back soon, and Mengyao will have a lot more free time. What are you thinking?"
"Dad, you mean…"
Lin Hai said, "A man still needs his own career. You need to develop yourself, as long as you can guarantee your safety."
"Others don't know what you're hiding. If you don't have a career, people will say you're a kept man or something."
"Even if Mengyao and her family know your situation, they won't feel good hearing such things."
Lin Chen nodded. "I will develop a career. But I haven't spent much time with Xixi before. I should spend more time with her before she goes to Kindergarten."
"Mmhmm."
"It's up to you," Lin Hai said.
His own son was much smarter than him. As long as Lin Chen realized the importance of developing a business, that was all that mattered.
Lin Hai went back to his room to continue his afternoon nap.
Lin Chen silently pondered.
He had already obtained some techniques related to Aircraft Manufacturing. This involved many different aspects.
From a long-term perspective, developing this was the best option.
It had the most promising future.
And he could even gain support from the Military with this.
But it would take fifty hours to reach Grandmaster Level in Aircraft Manufacturing, and one hundred hours to reach Great Grandmaster Level.
He had only taught Lin Xixi to fold paper airplanes for a total of just over a dozen hours. Forget Great Grandmaster, he was still far from even Grandmaster.
Lin Xixi's interest in this had also waned recently.
"This can only be put on hold for now."
"High-End Private Chef... this can be arranged quickly."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
Lin Xixi was a little foodie.
He's doing this so the diners will bring all sorts of high-end ingredients.
